Understand The Importance

Founded in 1983, Audiology of Tulsa, PLLC is the oldest and largest doctoral level private audiology practice in the state of Oklahoma. Founded by a solo audiologist in a single location, we are now in three locations and are staffed by five university-trained doctoral level audiologists, a 4th year audiology intern, two audiology assistants/hearing instrument specialists, a lab technician, and a fleet of support staff.

When you come to see us for your hearing or balance problem, you will be seen by an audiologist. We will take a thorough history, listen to your concerns, perform a comprehensive evaluation, then discuss our findings and recommendations. We were founded on a medical model and view hearing and balance problems as health issues, not the opportunity to sell you a hearing aid. While we do provide expert hearing aid fitting services using best practice fitting techniques, our major concern is your hearing health.

You will not see us place advertisements in the newspaper or on television. You will not find us hiring sports figures or celebrities to say we are great. We will never insult your intelligence with "two for one" or "50% off today only" offers. Our referrals come from your family doctors, your neighbors, your co-workers, your fellow church members or other acquaintances who have trusted us and placed their hearing care in our hands.
